Awesome Trup!

Oh man! That white front bumper looks so positively delicious!

awesome

 

[Trupiano]

Thanks guys.

It's really durable!!! I actually dropped a wrench on it twice, and nothing. When I was putting the bracing back in the back bumper, I didn't line it up quite right, and though I had scratched the hell out of the side... but it just wiped off!!! Then when I was trying to support the front and line it up, I hit the crap out of the bracket with the edge, and nothing. Pretty stoked! Paint would have scratched like a ****.

Very nice!

How's the vinyl on the doors doing?

So now that you got it back together, when are you going to bring it by and strap it on the dyno?

Thank you sir! I sold it a couple months after I bought this one. Sold to a member from another forum. I do miss it from time to time, but then I get in and drive this thing... and I forget all about it.

Brake Rotors replaced, and broke in! Probably a good 30% better braking feel!

All washed up!

All I need to do is paint the grille outside lip to match. And tomorrow I'll be removing my window black tape.

Looks damn good man! What kinda rotors are those?

 

[Trupiano]

Dimpled and Slotted from Brakeperformance.com They weigh about 38-40 lbs a piece for the 2500's!!!

Ran me just at $500. Free lifetime warranty against warping and cracking, free shipping, and free brake pads!

My buddy with the red truck was going to order some EBC ones for about $1300, but he thinks he'll order these now after helping me install them.

Looking good sir! I gotta polish a bunch of water spots off my bumpers tomorrow.
F*ggin chrome!

 

[Trupiano]

Thanks! I heard vinegar can help with that, although I've never tried.

It's chrome! Chrome polish is acidic, and works wonders!
